The report is for fiscal years 2023 and 2024 and “underscores the importance of reducing barriers to recovery supports and driving systemic change through enhanced intra-agency coordination,” according to a letter introducing the report from Paolo del Vecchio, director of the Office of Recovery. The report lists the accomplishments of the office including: convening 138 meetings with 12,253 people attending, publishing 34 “resource products,” organizing 35 National Recovery Month webinars and events, hosting four National Quarterly Recovery Exchange meetings, providing national training and technical assistance through the Peer Recovery Center of Excellence and the SAMHSA Program to Advance Recovery Knowledge, and beginning the process for SAMHSA to be recognized as the first federal agency to be a “Recovery Ready Workplace.” The future of the office is unclear.
